Ah gotcha. I cant relate to the feeling but I can conceptualize it I think. I fall under demisexual so while I’m highly sexually charged, arousal by a random person takes a lot of work to get to. To clarify further, I’m male, but I have so many turn-offs that people are essentially classified as unsexy by default until I’ve done heavy vetting (social and psychological conversational prodding to determine a person’s place in the metacontextual zeitgeist). Then on top of that I have physical and presentational preferences so finding partners is practically impossible. I got lucky that a Tinder date turned into the best LTR of my life, and a person I couldnt imagine being without now.

This said, I’m very familiar with attraction after vetting, but social signifiers have rarely in my experience told me who a person was. Perhaps I’m more distrustful than you, but I can’t imagine getting past my sensors with only a glance. I’ve learned too many times that people are seldom what you think they are at first glance.

To this extent, are you saying that a bi/pansexual has more physically charged sensors for attraction, and so that conversation is not necessary? To that end, is additional conversation LESS attractive? I ask because I’ve run into this feature with cis straight women, where my yapping turns them completely off, even if my body was green for them. Not through offence mind you, I notice they just get bored or overwhelmed with the conversation and wanted a spicier encounter.

You wrote off demi too fast. When you say you find people passing with a good vibe hot, are we saying aroused, or are we saying “Ah, yes, quite the fuckable one, that”. Because there’s a third option and bi or pan only cover one while demi covers two.

Regret. 😔

Crime usually comes before punishment. Right now the system is working it’s way into figuring out how to deal with this new social dynamic. Like you, I think it’s pretty straightforward. We won’t solve the core reason for the bullying dynamics though. I think humans that adhere to gendered thinking will be behind on that for a good long while yet.

God, post-digg era was peak. When subs like r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu were still active. It was just folks talking about their lives and relating to eachother. Then we all grew up, life got serious, and the culture wars started.

It’s two things. Bots, yes, but also the communities have gotten really lazy. Shit was fire during peak culture war because people were actively trying to learn. Now it’s like everyone gave up.

I played the whole thing on controller. It sounds like you’re still early in the game so the combat hasn’t pushed you to play it like a twin stick yet. During certain bosses and especially after a spoiler will the drone become more useful and reveal mechanical depth you havent been exposed to yet. Give it time. That game is a treasure.

Travelling the state, shitting for a cause. Big ups to the GOATs!

“Has the largest” meaning a 3 comment average per thread. That’s what the OC is talking about. The communities in Lemmy World are really small in a way that makes it hard to hold together a sub. A new movie comes out and maybe one or two people talk about it on Lemmy while Reddit has hundreds.

Then you might say, be the change you want to see, but Lemmy has a pretty small install base. Even if you participate, there isn’t anyone to follow, because the users here are usually white collar tech folk. Hence the interest groups being tech and politics.

Ah gotcha. How are you liking Nier so far? It’s more of a spectical fighter than an open world traversal game.

Nothing that grandiose. Sounds like you’re mostly in it for the traversal. Did you play Mirror’s Edge 2?

What about a system like the Like a Dragon franchise, where it’s a small open area flush with things to do?

As a long time Gen X hater, I can confirm that they’re essentially responsible for boomers being seen as the only adults in the country for the past 50-whatever years.

Getting old sucks, but dont let folks rile you up so much that punk starts being a label rather than a movement. Punk is as punk does. Nobody needs credentials.

I think I can shed light on the 6 7 hate. To do so though, I need to cover why people are okay with the others. 420 and 69 have been around for ages so they get a pass for being grandfathered and having transgressive origins. Quick maths (2+2 is 4, minus 1 that’s 3) got its fame for being an incredibly stupid thing to say in the middle of a rap while also simultaneously going way too hard for how silly it sounds. Lastly you have 21, which was a vine meme so again, a more grounded and community based origin.

What makes 6 7 stand out is that it’s from the British school system, and British culture sucks.

I rest my case.

We finally found him! John Openworld! The core reason why game devs keep making every game into an open world!

I have a question I always wanted to ask. Is it more important for the world to be deep or wide? More side content or more to navigate?

That’s just, like, your opinion, man…

Not good for capital generation. Media needs to generate revenue like everything else in this system, otherwise it starves.

Dropping all civility, I’ll say; hummuna hummuna, awwwooooga, boiyoiyoing, SCHWIINNGGG

People are simplifying it a bit too much. Take Two is calling it an extended look at the game. Knowing Rockstar, it’ll preview a lot of the story and show off the gameplay adjustments/additions from the last release. Some agreement happened between Take Two and Netflix, understanding that this release was going to draw a lot of attention, so they worked out this timed exclusivity thing.
